Bugtilemur is an extinct genus of Strepsirhine primate within family Cheirogaleidae, which includes the dwarf and mouse lemurs of Madagascar. It is represented by only one species, B. mathesoni, which was found in the Chitarwata Formation of Pakistan. If this classification is correct, Bugtilemur would be the oldest lemur fossil and the only lemuriform primate, extinct or extant, that has been found outside of Madagascar, significantly complicating the evolution of diversification of lemurs.

abstract	Bugtilemur is an extinct genus of Strepsirhine primate within family Cheirogaleidae, which includes the dwarf and mouse lemurs of Madagascar. It is represented by only one species, B. mathesoni, which was found in the Chitarwata Formation of Pakistan. If this classification is correct, Bugtilemur would be the oldest lemur fossil and the only lemuriform primate, extinct or extant, that has been found outside of Madagascar, significantly complicating the evolution of diversification of lemurs. Described from a few teeth, the specimen possesses a lower canine that, according to Marivaux et al, confirm the presence of the lemur-specific toothcomb. Furthermore, on the basis of cheektooth morphology the molars share strong affinities with those of the genus Cheirogaleus (Dwarf lemurs). However, Bugtilemur appears to be much smaller in size than the extant Malagasy genus and its toothcomb was shorter and broader.
